I know you have to soak them overnight to rehydrate them and leach out poisonous shit, but is there more to it than that? Can this go along with seasoning them or does the water need to be as clean as possible to make them safe to eat?

      Boil/simmer your raw kidney beans and broad beans for at least 10 mins before eating (it's going to require a lot longer than that to cook them anyway...)

      Be careful about putting these dried beans into a slow cooker unless you know what temperature your slow cooker reaches - basically avoid this unless you're well aware of the risks and you've done your due diligence (if this comment is news to you then you haven't done your due diligence.)

      Don't eat the sprouts of kidney beans.

      Oh and I guess don't eat castor beans either.

      Otherwise you're good; you don't need to approach legumes like a Pythagorean would.
